Teamwork is important, and NapoleonCat makes it a breeze for you to implement your team members into your workflow. There are multiple areas where you can make use of this, and I'll be showing you how to do that!

Let's start with your Social Inbox (Configuring your Social Inbox ). As your inbox starts to fill up with more and more messages, there's a pretty big chance that you'll need to sort them accordingly based on their content. Luckily, you can designate each message to anybody on your team. Here's how to do that.

Important:But all of this information will be useless unless you first learn how to invite new users into your team. Here's how to do that ( Inviting new users )

On every message in your inbox, if you look on the lower left corner you'll find a dotted circular button. Once you press that, you'll get a list of members that you're able to assign this message to. It is as simple as that!

Assigning a message to a teammate is a neat feature to have, however some cases require more attention. This is where the ability to consult your teammates comes into play. Within the Social Inbox, we've implemented a feature where you can do just that. By clicking on an individual message, you'll open up the history of that particular message. From there, if you click on over to the "Send to consult" tab, you'll have the ability to enter in a team members email as well as a place to write your message.

You can consult anybody, this feature is not limited to just your team :) So if you need grandma to chime in on a case, you can!

Another way of integrating teamwork is our Post flow option. This option allows for you to create a multi layered team authorization system when it comes to Publishing posts. Don't worry, it's not as complex as it sounds. To get started, simply head on over to your "Project Settings" and click on the "Post flow" link.

You'll be greeted with a new window instructing you how to get started. The instructions are pretty straight forward. The most important part to remember is that by clicking on "Add members" you'll be able to specify exactly which member of your team you would like to add to the flow. You can make the tier system as long as you want, are you ready to build a more comprehensive security system than your local airport?

And that's all that there is to it!

If you're using our Publisher, you'll be happy to hear that there are ways to work together as well. Simply navigate to the certain date of a scheduled post, click on the post and a new window will open where you'll be met with numerous ways of including other teammates. You can delegate it ( similar to the way in which you can assign a message in your Inbox), or even mention teammates in a note.

In the event that you're not sure who's actually part of your glorious team, you can check for yourself. Go into your "Project Settings" and click on "Members". Vuala! Every single member and their permissions are listed for your enjoyment. If you need a reminder on how to set permissions individually, we've got you covered !

I think that about covers it :) Now, do I need to remind you of that very inspirational quote at the beginning of this article regarding the importance of teamwork again? I think not! Now get out there and start making things happen! Together as a...TEAM.
